You might try sending an email from the Python shell using the script
below.
(from http://docs.python.org/library/smtplib.html) It should at least
give you an error message if it fails.
If you can't debug postfix before your presentation tomorrow, maybe
you could use gmail's servers.

import smtplib
def prompt(prompt):
    return raw_input(prompt).strip()
fromaddr = prompt("From: ")
toaddrs  = prompt("To: ").split()
print "Enter message, end with ^D (Unix) or ^Z (Windows):"
# Add the From: and To: headers at the start!
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\n\r\n"
       % (fromaddr, ", ".join(toaddrs)))
while 1:
    try:
        line = raw_input()
    except EOFError:
        break
    if not line:
        break
    msg = msg + line
print "Message length is " + repr(len(msg))
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
server.quit()
